For the official Qt binary distribution, we want all the features to be enabled. The GIF support is currently disabled by default (and can be enabled only by manually editing configure.cmd or generated configuration files). This is done so due to some licensing issues, which need to be investigated.

Currently, the Qt library, when built as a DLL, is named as follows:

qt-mtXYZ.dll

where XYZ is the version number (for example, qt-mt331.dll), and mt stands for multi-threaded (actually this is the only case for OS/2 -- single-threaded applications are nonsence). The same scheme is used in Qt for Windows. In particular, this scheme implies that all intermediate builds of the same release are binary compatible. However, in case of Qt for OS/2 it's usually not the case, because we're constantly adding new (missing) features to the same release of the library.

Therefore, we need another naming scheme that will allow us to differentiate between (most likely) binary incompatible sub-releases (or even bug fixes) of the same Qt release. And even if two sub-releases (or release candidates as we call them) are binary compatible, having different DLL names can still make sence: for some reason, the end user might want to have several Qt versions simultaneously installed on his machine (for example, an application he's using can theoretically require this due to functional differences between releases and such).

Everyting is ready to add the canvas module to the OS/2 version of Qt.
